Effect Of Lime Juice On The Microflora And Some Chemical Characteristics Of "Ogiri" From Castor Bean (Ricinus Communis) And Locust Bean (Parkia Biglobosa) Seeds.
ABSTRACT
Dawadawa was prepared by the fermentation of castor seed and
locust bean. The effect of lime juice on the microbial and chemical
characteristics of the condiment were investigated during laboratory
fermentation that lasted for 96-hours. The seeds underwent a natural
fermentation that was dominated by the growth of microorganisms. Several
bacteria e.g. Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aurcus, Micrococcus spp., and
Pseudomonas were involved in the fermentation. Also Slioptococcus and
Kiebsiella were found in locust bean, while Eutococci and Leuconostoc were
isolated in castor seed. Also identified were yeast, rhizopus and fungi. ANC
(Average Number of Colonies) decreased in locust bean from 159 to 65 in day 4
as concentration of lime juice increased. Meanwhile ANC was highest in day 2.
There was a 3% protein increase in locust bean. The concentration mean for
protein decreased slightly and was lowest at 5% lime juice level for both castor
seed and locust bean. Fat content increased from 20.61 — 24. 0 as fermentation
period increased but decreased slightly as lime juice concentration increased.
Temperature, moisture and soluble solids content also increased with
fermentation period. Carbohydrate decreased from 28 59-25.40 as fermentation
period increased. As concentration of lime juice increased, carbohydrate
increased and was highest at 5% level. Total solids and fibre equally decreased
with fermentation period
